Law Suit

[BarryP]

Has anyone seen where Irwin Jacobs and the FLW has filed a law suit against BRP/Evinrude for not paying an agreed amount of sponsor money to FLW?

This will not help them sell motors and boat makers will soo cut them off because no one will want a boat with a Rude on it.

OH you must mean like when my 10 month old Rude(OMC)225 exploded. I took it to the nearest dealer and we contacted the factory and was informed a new powerhead would be shipped as soon as they received a check for $8000. If you do a little digging I think you will find that Bombardier only has a 30% interest in Bombardier Recreational Products(BRP). The other 70% of the owners may be who balked at putting the $$$ up for FLW. OMC hurt the Evinrude name bad enough, if it happens again don't know if they will survive this one. TBJ

I would expect something made by "Bombardier" to explode.

Jim are you waiting on low level to try seawall again?

[oiltech09]

So how did this all work out? Did you have to send them the money or did they take care of it?

[toledo bend jim]

Roger thats what we are doing. I talked with Harold Temple Shoreline supervisor for the SRA and he said they will start bringing the lake level down Sept.1.
Oiltech 09 my wife and I were right there in the Evinrude store and the owner was on the phone with OMC. When asked about the warranty they said that was the best they could do or they would authorize the dealer where we were to re-build my motor for $4500. I said I will fix it myself. They asked me if I knew how to fix an Evinrude and I said YES. I then got on my cell phone and called Yamaha in Henderson. They came to my camp at TB picked up my Triton TR21 brought it back here and hung a brand new Hammer on it and brought it back to my camp. BTW YAMAHA completely re-built the 'Rude parts and labor was less than $800. The next month, believe Dec. if I remember right OMC declared Bankruptcy. TBJ

Did you see where Irwin and his investors funnelled in some big money before the genmar BK to make the books look better. Now its been found and they got some big time heat on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i could tell yall some things i get from good sources but alot of you wouldnt believe and some may know and would deny. what i will tell you is look around at who has 2010's out there already and who doesnt, see whos building boats as we speak and whos not and just watch as the industry changes over the next 6months to a year. Now does this suprise me with BRP frankly NO! I think the financial woes have hit them all infact i know they have. i think BRP could use some customer skills for sure I will attest to that! I personally think when it comes down to it none of the three engine brands gives a rats a$$ about you are me. cant say for sure about yamaha havent delt with them but have with the other 2!
